ALL SORTS.

Franklin did not have a monkey
wrench this time, and in this connection
it should be mentioned that the remark
of the Journal that he had become
famous lin connection with the trial of
Attorney Knittle for aiding him to
escape" is hardly fair. 1t will be re-
membered that Albert Knittle was ac-
quilted upon this charge.
Evidently strong attempt will be
made 10y the prosecution in the Murray
Sylvester case to make it unpleasant for
DIR. S. 5. Kilvington.
Neither the Morning nor Evening
Tribune need worry that an attempt
will be made to indict the GLOBE for pub
fishing obscene literature" A little less
SalaciOuSneSs on the part of the papers
that published the vile reference to the
Hal Reid case, the obscene alluSiOn to
the cOnt1agratiOn in house of prOStitu-
ton frequented by colOred people, and
which advertised the designation houses
of this city might be in order, however.
Minneapolis is undergoing that peren-
NAL visitation known as session of the
grand jury.
Out of the nineteen men examined for
jurymen in the SylveSter-Murray case
yesterday, two had read the account of
the alleged assault in the Tribune and
one in the Pioneer Press. Ehe balance
had read it in the GLOBE.
While the city attorney is undoubtedly
correct in advising that the transfer of
a city fund to another purpose than that
for which it was authorized, the city
suffers the loss which will be sustained
by hypothecating the bonds of the park
commission. One fund belongs to the
city as much as another, and why the
transfer could not be made can only be
accounted for by technical cOnstruc-
ton of one of the rather peculiar laws
which control the government of the
city of Minneapolis. Heretofore the
transfer of money from one fund to an
other has been allowed By general con-
sent. Why should not the city borrow
from itself and save the interest which
in this instance amounts to cOnsidera-
bic sum?

AN APPEAL.
The Sisterhood Of Bethany Need
Aid

Aid.
The SisterhOOd of Bethany have for a
long time asked no aid from the public
TO enable them to carry Oh their work.
but have struggled under great embar-
raSSment, sustained by the conscious
ness that their efforts in behalf Of sin
ming. suffering humanity are doing
good, not only to the poor creatures
themselves, but to the city OF Mime
apOlis. 1t is very generally known that
the city is empowered by special legiS-
latiOn to give us d liberal allowance
monthly. and the public may have come
to the conclusion that we are thus amply
supported, but that is not the case. The
granting of this allowance is optional
with the city fathers. ard the majority
OF the present council is not in favor of
allowing it, and only in two instances
have we received help from that source,
The city employs us to do certain work,
for which it sets its price and pays us
accordingly. but we are doing greal
deal of work besides this, for which we
have no regular income from any
source. Our aim from the beginning
has been 10 reform the poor girls who
come To us for shelter and protection,
and this most important part of our
work is entirely ignored by the existing
ely government. Benevolent individ-
uals, and in few instances religious
bodies, have sent US contributions, for
which we are truly grateful. but the
amount thus received is entirely made
quate to our needs. and We find our
selves face to face with a long winter
utterly unprepared to meet it. Our
family of women and babies average
sixty, and looking at them only yester-
day the thought forced itself
upon us, 'Where would you all
be if there were no Bethany hOme?r
and we rejoiced that we had shelter
for them. Last fall some very liberal

There was a large attendance at the
meeting of the Algonquin club last
night. The committee appointed at a
previous meeting tomake arrangements

holding of banquet for members

met with unanimous approval and it
was decided to hold the banquet. There
will be prominent speakers from abroad
present on this occasion. and the event
will be made a memorable one. The
report of the treasurer, showing the
club to be in good financial condition,
was presented and permission was
given the new Scandinavian Democratic
club to meet at the hall on Monday
evening.

SIGNS OF SUCCESS.
Minneapolis May Yet Secure the
National Republican COnven-


ton.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-With none OF
the ties of their ancient prototypes, and
far more pleasures, the ArgOnauts of
Minneapolis reached their destination
this evening. Their confidence has in
creased with every probability of the
way. and when Charley johnson and
Senator Window met them here and
assured them the convention was any
b0dy's. they went to work with hopes
redoubled. Headquarters have been
established at the Arlington anu the
committee organized. with Gov. McGill
as chairman and Eugene Hay, of Mime
apolis. as secretary. Working commit
tees were appointed, and the contingent
is now skirmishing the hotels, button
hOling the arriving congressman, with
Freeman p. Lane and VIM Bracket as
sub-cOmmanderS.
SENATOR DAVIS
for prudential reasons did not partici-
pate. but is quietly at work for the gen.
eral good. Comparatively few of the
national committeeman are here, but
most of them will arrive in the morning.
Chairman Jones got in. but refused all
cards. The situation is decidedly inter-
esting apart from this Minnesota fight,
and predict that to a large extent the
location of the convention will indicate
the committees choice of a candidate
and its views on the tariff. If Jones
and his friends prevail Philadelphia
will be the place,
BLAINE TIE MAN,
a protective tariff the doctrine. If
Cincinnati is chosen John Sherman
looms up and the tariff is straddled.
Should Chicago be named, Bob Lincoln
will be the favorite and leaning
toward revenue reform be apparent.
If the committee should play blind
hand, the secretive and nOn-cOmmittal,
the fight for the convention will be on
its merits. That Minneapolis is pos
Sible winner is conceded on all hands.
The Northwest is a subject of general
Republican anxiety, and the Twin
Cities are objects of universal wonder.
Chicago is putting forth allitS strength,
and Omaha is making more noise than
its pretenSiOnS would warrant. Cincin-
natl has strong delegation here, and
tonight formed an alliance with Min
neapOlis as against Chicago, which
Omaha will eventually join. This is
the situation up to date, and it is state
of affairs upon which the ArgOnauts
went hopefully to bed. HELOT. d.

In your article this morning in rela-
ton to the park board loan the name of
City Treasurer MOultOn should have
been used wherever mine appeared.
The council authorized the treasurer to
make the transfer and | should have
made entries to conform, but Mr.. MOultOn
notified me that the city attorney, in an
swer to his inquiry, has pronounced it
illegal, and he would therefore refuse
to do it. Respectfully,

AN OLD-TIME PICTURE.

Col. Fairman, the well known artist
from New York, has just completed a
large canvas that is full of local inter-
est. 1t is view of the old government
mills, which used to stand on the pres
ent site of the Northwestern
flour mills. The river was
bubbling by much the same then as
now, and the sky has the appearance of
a coming storm. 1t is, in fact, a speak
ing picture, and recalls to the many
pioneers who have viewed it, the river
and its surroundings as it looked in the
days when they were young. Hon.
Eugene Wilson. the prominent lawyer,
gave the order for the picture, and it

of the most approved architectural design,
two and half stories high and covering
space of forty-two by fifty feet. 1t is
built entirely of material manufactured
from straw, the inside finish being a
handsome imitation of rosewood and
other hard woods. The building will be
devoted to the illustration of Philadel-

banks, newspaper offices, exchanges,
schools, hotels, etc.

with the exhibits, and a reading ROOM

Concerning Indecent Language.

Touching the use of indecent language
and coarse jests there can be but one
opinion. They defile the mouth that ut
tiers them and the mind that is not closed
against them. Unfortunately, the latter
half of Pope's cOuplet-
Inmodest words admit of no defense,
For want of decency is want OF sense
is not VIII oily true. Too many men who
cannot be accused of plentiful lack of
WITT beguile their leisure hours in the
interchange of low, immodest, and OBJ
scene stories. To such an extent is this
carried by some eagerly sought compan-
ions that their trail through society can
be traced by the suppressed merriment
over Mr.. So and Sos latest story.
If man once enters ON the role of a
narrator of indecent stories he soon loses
all distinction between what is bright
though offensive and what is offensive
without being bright. The mind of q
retailer of questionable tales becomes so
befouled with its filthy store that his
whole mental and moral tone becomes
tainted and impure. Indecent language
and coarse jests are habits acquired in

Accidents to Sleep walkers.

1t seems strange, ON the first blush of
the matter, that SO very few accidents be-
fall sleep walkers. The proportion of
instances in which any injury is sustained
by the subjects of this remarkable state of
semi-sleep is very small. The explana-
ton of the immunity is doubtless to be
found in the fact that it is a state of semi
sleep in which the sleep,waIker makes his
excursion. He is only sleeping only so
far as part of his cerebrum is concerned.
The rest of his brain is awake, and there
fore it is really not strange feat to walk
carefully and escape injury, doing all the
necessary acts of avoidance while carry
ing out some dream purpose, just as
waking purpose is fulfilled.-The Lancet.
